The dilapidated pedestrian bridge threatens the lives of local residents.
(Baonghean.vn) - The My Thuong bridge in Hung My commune, Hung Nguyen district, is currently in serious disrepair. For many years, the bridge has posed a threat to the local people.
 |
| The My Thuong Bridge was built in the 1970s. It connects hamlets 7, 8, and 9 of Hung My commune, and also serves as an inter-commune bridge between Hung My and Hung Tan communes. In 1986, the bridge was renovated and rebuilt to a length of 31m and a width of 2m. However, after a period of use, the bridge continued to deteriorate severely. |
 |
| The bridge railing has detached from the abutment. |
 |
| The people in this area cross this bridge every day. And even a slight misstep could be dangerous. |
 |
| Mr. Le Dinh Thu, a resident of Hamlet 7, My Thuong Village, said that there have been many cases of motorbikes, bicycles, and ox carts falling off the bridge. Yet the situation remains unresolved. |
 |
 |
 |
| The bridge's structure and components are no longer intact. The bridge could collapse at any moment. |
 |
| The steel support structure under the bridge is rusted in many places. |
 |
| In many places, the lifting steel was worn down and completely broken. |
 |
 |
 |
| According to Mr. Le Dinh Thu, five children have been injured after falling from the bridge, most of them aged 5-12. Therefore, the commune authorities have placed warning signs right next to the My Thuong bridge. |
